AI UGC is a divisive topic in the UGC community. Many people hate it. We are fully embracing it at @launchpoint . We are partnering with @higgsfield on a $1M prize pool for creators to create converting AI content for brands. The future will have much more AI content. Human and AI content will live side by side. The future is (almost) here.

Aggressive with effort. Relaxed with outcome. This is the @appsicle_ motto for work. Albert is an engineer at @launchpoint He is currently sleeping at the office. Imagine trying to build a company without hustlers. What a Joke.

Everyone is hyping up AI UGC for content generation, but making the clips is only a fraction of what's needed. Real enterprise-grade UGC deals with the actual problem: everything else. Sourcing, compliance, and payouts gets exponentially harder past a few dozen creators. This is why C4 Energy runs their entire creator pipeline on Launchpoint. Businesses need real infrastructure to scale.

anthropics latest threat intel report puts influence operations on the same page as cyberattacks and terrorists fake accounts, bot networks, and manufactured engagement dominate the internet because brands are buying cheap and fake reach without even knowing it. it is practically overwhelming social platforms like snapchat, insta, youtube, twitter/x, and linkedin are now actively cracking down on inauthentic ai content. but its getting worse and worse as every new batch of startups is trying to go the opposite way to "automate marketing". this current trajectory is not sustainable @launchpoint is taking the first step forward by building the standard for authentic engagement, starting with verified human ugc. by making fake reach instantly visible to the public, we kill the roi on unethical strategies and when the roi dies, companies will stop paying for it
We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies. These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve. We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

Replying to @calebdowns
@calebdowns won a natty at ohio state, got drafted 11th overall by the cowboys this year, and is somehow still a co-founder of a startup running campaigns for c4 energy and dr pepper on the side. There was no seed round, no fundraising tour, just three guys, two cornell grads and a first-round safety, who got tired of NIL deals happening over DMs and cold outreach, so they built the plumbing themselves. Most startups have a founder story but @launchpoint has one that reads better than the pitch deck.

they already have done this but people have become very much desensitized to ads the record amount of fearmongering they have done earlier this year has really taken a strong hit on any sort of optimism if anthropic or openai wants to be seen in a much more positive light it only makes sense if it is coming from other ppl. again, this is already being done a bit but they need to pull this lever harder
if i were openai or anthropic, i’d absolutely flood the world with emotional optimistic ads about what ai can actually do for ordinary ppl. e.g. show the teacher who gets her evenings back. the scientist who finds something sooner. the small business owner who can suddenly do the work of a team. the kid who can learn anything. the disabled person who becomes more independent. make ai feel like human progress again. basically act like a general before a battle & remind people what the future is for.
